poundland is cheaper for equivalent types


The local 99p Store (now part of Poundland) sell a pack of 12 R6s badged
'Performance' and uses the AA Home Essentials motif. They lasted only 5 days
in the Bruan. The same battery may happily power a wall clock for 6 months
but is useless on the high drain stuff.


Zinc carbons of all brands are similarly poor performers. I said equivalent.
